[Timestamp](https://postimg.cc/6ykwrzJ7) Hey Watchexchange! Up for sale is a **rare 1980s Orient Crystal**, a predecessor to the later 90s **Tri-Star line** and one of those pieces that perfectly shows why **Orient** earned its reputation for **characterful automatics**. Unlike the **mass-produced feel** of many 90s models, this one carries details that feel truly special. The watch features a clean **sunburst white dial**, catching the light beautifully and giving it a timeless dressy appeal. **Golden stick indices** and **matching hands** bring to mind the **1st generation Orient President Datejust** — itself a nod to the **Rolex Datejust** — and under the hood it runs on the reliable **in-house 21 Jewels Automatic Orient Cal. 46943 (same as gen 1 Orient President)**. What sets this watch apart, however, is its **bezel**. While most **Orient Crystals** of this era came with standard **fluted bezels**, this one showcases a **rare gold-plated bezel** with an **intricate S-shaped ornamental motif**. The pattern carries an almost **hand-engraved, artisanal quality**, adding richness and depth that you simply don’t see on mass-market watches. At 3 o’clock sits the day-date complication, with a **quickset pusher at 2 o’clock** for adjusting the day — while the **crown handles both date and time setting**. Protecting the dial is a **scratch-free mineral crystal**, completing the **vintage charm**. The **two-tone bracelet** is original and features **center golden links** with **polished steel outers**, showing only light discoloration and wear from age but still wearing comfortably and securely. 🔹 **Dimensions** • **Case Diameter:** *36mm* (without crown) • **Lug-to-Lug:** *42mm* • **Lug Width:** *18mm* • **Thickness:** *11mm* 💵 **Price:** *$175 shipped (or Best Offer)* 🚢 **Shipping:** UPS (Worldwide) 📦 **Payment:** ***PayPal F&F*** or G&S (+4.5% fee paid by the buyer) or **bank wire (US banks accepted)** 📩 DM me for additional pics or a **custom timestamp**. A refined vintage Orient with a bezel that feels handcrafted and artistic, this one stands out as a unique gem even among Orient’s extensive Crystal lineup.
